THE COURIER litvs a largo and steady circu
lation In Cherokee Georgia, and Is the best ad
vertising medium In this section.
M. mvi X F. I.I., Proprietor.
Saturday Morning,
Oct. 18, 1879.
The Legislature adjourned on Wed
nesday, the 15th inst.
Congress meets ontho first Monday,
the first day, of December.
We runLisH the law passed by the
recent Legislature in regard to interest.
Samuel J. Tilden, President of the
United States by election, is represented
as being confident of the success of the
Democracy in New York on the 4th of
November.
Among the hardest of the hard
things a freeman has to endure are the
silly insolence and petty tyranny of a
small man hedged about with a little
“ brief authority.”
Hon. Thos. W. Milner, Representa
tive from Bartow, has our thanks for a
pamphlet copy of his speech as one of
the managers elected by the House in
the Renfroe impeachment case.
Hamilton county, Ohio, (Cincin
nati,) sent a negro as one of its nine to
the Legislature as a Representative, he
heating the highest Democrat on the
ticket about a thousand votes.
The Free Press Bays that poor Sam
McLin, now dead, who helped to give
Tilden’s votes in Florida to Hayes, was
raised in Bartow county. Bartow has
had and still has some queer people in
her borders of whom, and of whose
records, other counties will never try to
deprive her. [N. B.—Nothing in this
is intended to apply to any Democrat of
Bartow—the truest Democrats in Geor
gia, by the way.]
The tribute paid to Gen. Gordon by
the New York Journal of Commerce,
which we republish from the Augusta
Chronicle, is one of which any man
might be proud. The Journal of Com
merce is a dignified conservative jour
nal, rod a word of praise from it is
worth something. The parallel, or con-
trr st rather, drawn between Gen. Gor-
don and the small man Conkling is
very pleasant to a Georgian, and in fact
to every reader who loves his country.
this subject since the faots came to light
we have never denied that Mr. Renfroe
was guilty of a violation of the laws of
the State, but we have studiously en
deavored to do what little we could to
stay the tide of passion which seemed
to be sweeping over the land, and for a
time threatening the bulwarks of justice.
Our best thoughts and our most honest
efforts have ever been in the direction
of conservatism, of a strict enforcement
of the laws as written, and against ex
treme measures not warranted by clear
right and justice. The Senate in re
fusing to sustain »he articles of im
peachment against Mr. Renfroe did not
thereby acquit him of guilt, but it did
refuse to punish him in a way different
from that laid down in the statutes of the
State, and, what is more praisewoi tl y,
it refused to pass.a virtual ex post facto
law to meet the case, which it would,
in our opinion, have done by sustain
ing the articles.
The State still hos its remedy against
Mr. Renfroe, and the Legislature very
properly has ordered process to issue
against him, whether beginning in a
proper way or not we are not prepared
to say; but he certainly has incurred
the penalty of the law in using and al
lowing others to use the funds of the
State. For that let him atone as the law
directs.
Despite the intense excitement which
prevailed, the oharter election in New
ark, N. J., Tuesday was one of the most
orderly ever held in that city. It re
sulted in a sweeping victory for the
Democrats and their "liberal” allies.
The majority of W. A. F. Fiedler, the
poor man’s candidate” for Mayor, is
over three thousand. This is a gain of
over 4,000 since last year. The Demo
crats also elect eight out of fifteen
Aldermen.
State Lunatic Asylum.
The Rome Courier tak' ■ back what
it said about the incons’stency of ac
quitting Renfroe after Goldsmith had
been found guilty.
The above, from the Atlanta Dis
patch, set ub to thinking and looking
back over the files of the Courier, and
we neither think of nor find anything
on which such an assertion can be
founded. The Dispatch certainly hes
got thingj mixed. We have all the
time contended that impeachment was
not the proper or lawful punishment for
' Mr. Renfroe’s conduct. And any im
partial man, it does seem to us, will he
forced to that conclusion when he
thinks dispr’sionately about it.
The Treasurer, according to section
92 of the Revised Code, is prohibited
from using himself, or allowing any one
else to use, the funds of tho State in his
hands; and for eveiy violation of that
section is liable to the State for the sum
of five hundred dollars as a penalty, or
forfeiture of salary, if said forfeiture
will pay the penalty incurred.
In the Constitution of 1877 we find
the following in reference to the receiv
ing of interest by the Treasurer:
Section 604. Par. V. The Trer surer
shall not be allowed, directly or indi
rectly, to receive any fee, interest or re
ward from any person, bank or corpo
ration, for the deposit or use, in any
manner, of the public funds; and the
General Assembly shall enforce this
provision by suitable penalties.
Now, the following propositions seem
so plain that it is a mystery to us how
a contrary opinion cm be held: First,
that receiving interest on the money of
the State, as Mr. Renfroe did, we l an
unlawful using of said money; and,
second, that as the Legislature had fail
ed to pass any law enforcing the fore
going provision of the new Constitu
tion, as it was in duty bound to do, the
highest and the only penalty that could
be lawfully inflicted was tho one set
forth in section 92 of the code, which
was a pecuniaty one.
The attempt to ignore the law as
written and inflict a punishment great
er than tho one prescribed by statute
was, in our opinion, a giievous mistake,
and thinking bo from the beginning,
we first spoke out in favor of allowing
Mr. Renfroe to resign if he would make
a fair settlement with the State. The
infliction of a punishment as severe and
degrading as that of removal from office
and perpetual disqualification for an
offense where the penalty of fine and
forfeiture of salary was the one pro
scribed by law, would be like finding a
defendant guilty of murder and sen
tencing him to hang in a case where
the indictment charged an assault with
intent to commit murder.
In all that we have ever written upon
Savannah Recorder: We see that an
investigation committee has been to the
lunatic asylum to look into the condi
tion of the patients. It was charged
that the patients do not receive that per
sonal attention their condition needs.
That they are allowed to go unwashed,
uncombed, and are dirty and filthy.
We have visited the asylum often,
and if there was anything that struck
us particularly, it was the clean and
neat appearance of the building and
the patients. It wfs astonishing how
the attendants could manage to keep a
certain class as dean as they did, for
many needed more attention than help
less children. If there was any neglect,
it was an exception and not the rule.
The asylum is visited too often by all
classes, not to be kept in a clean condi
tion, and as the patten'* are especially
an object of interest, they are kept neat
and clean. It is no ersy or pleasant
task to look after some 800 patients,
and they in all conditions of mental
idiocy, imbecility and excitement. But
from au obsei ration of over twenty
years, we are of the opinion the asylum
is well and neatly kept as to building,
beds and patients.
The board of trustees pa sed the fol
lowing resolutions:
Resolved, That the board of tustees,
having investigated the charges made
as to the maltreatment and want of
proper attention t' .he son of Mr. Bryan
MorrisB, of Floyd county, and which
charges are now being investigated by
the Legislature, are fully of the opinion
that the charges are each and all ground
less, and that the Superintendent and
his subordinate officers and employes
are entirely free from blame or censure
in the matter.
Resolved, Tnat the e.idence which
has been collected and submitted to the
Legislature be entered upon the minutes
of this board, and a copy of these reso
lutions be furnished to Dr. Powell, to
each of the assist mt physicians, and to
Mr. Curry, the attendant upon the
Third Ward at the time young Mr. Mor
ris was a patient therein.
